From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

MINNETRISTA, settled in 1854, organized in the spring of 1859, was at first named German Home by the county commissioners but was changed to the present name by vote of the settlers at the date of organization. "Several names were proposed and rejected. The name of Minnetrista was finally proposed and accepted, Minne (meaning waters) and trista (meaning crooked); and from the fact that the town contained so many crooked lakes, this name was considered as the most appropriate" (History, 1881, p. 260).
